(CNN) – A video shows a pregnant woman being attacked by two teenagers in Massachusetts.
In the video, the victim, who is 5-months pregnant, can be heard screaming as her boyfriend steps in to defend her.
Moments later, an elderly man in a red hat tries to help keep her attackers away.
The victim reportedly told police one of the suspects said “I hope he dies. I will kill your kid.”
Teens accused of punching sick pregnant woman
I am disgusted by their actions, but not surprised. We have given violent criminal mentality not only a pass legally but it is celebrated culturally. If they use violence to satisfy whatever desires they have, it is something we must understand and feel pity about because of a host of excuse make to skirt responsibility. At the same time, predatory behavior is celebrated in song and film, creating a sub-culture that no longer respects people who are not a threat to them and enjoy victimizing. But at the same time, when we are forced to use violence to stop them from killing us, then it is a bad thing we have done, an oppressive thing, uncaring and we will be punished for it.
Something has to give.
Damn, that is disgusting.

Shouldn’t this be attempted murder? Or do Blue State abortion laws mean that you can beat a woman until she miscarries and not be punished for killing an unborn child?
It should be two counts of attempted murder. But from what I understand from the local (Boston TV) news, only assault was charged.
I don’t advocate a vigilante response, but when the government fails to keep the citizens safe, the tar, feathers, pitchforks and ropes come out. Somewhat surprised it hasn’t already happened in places.
Too bad the old guy didn’t have a ccw, just shoot the animals. In Chicago they let the animals off with a slap on the wrist and wonder why they do it again
Does MA allow deadly force in defense of innocent third parties in public? NH does, but MA is an entirely different place.
